how much will 2 C’s and 2 B’s set me back?

How much will two C’s and two B’s affect my GPA?

I took geometry in 8th grade and ended up with two C’s. Now in my first semester of 9th grade, I received a B in both Biology and Algebra II. 😢 My high school is super competitive, and even though I have a 4.2 GPA and I’m ranked 80 out of 200, all my friends have GPAs over 4.5 and are ranked 30 or higher. I can’t help but compare myself to them. 😭

Edit: I also calculated that the highest GPA I could achieve is 4.68. On top of that, I received an office referral for getting caught cheating (I was just using AI! 😭).

  1. It sounds like you’re really feeling the pressure, especially being in a competitive high school environment. First off, it’s important to remember that your GPA is just one part of your academic journey. A 4.2 is still an impressive GPA!

    As for those grades, while it might seem like they’ll set you back, it’s essential to keep things in perspective. Many students face challenges along the way, and how you respond to these setbacks can be just as important as the grades themselves. Try focusing on improving in your upcoming classes and continuing to work hard.

    Also, remember that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and comparing yourself to your friends can be discouraging. Instead, focus on your own goals and what you want to achieve. And about the office referral—learning from mistakes is part of growing. Just gather the experience and use it to motivate yourself moving forward.

    Keep pushing yourself, and don’t hesitate to seek help if you need it! You’ve got this! 💪
